“US Democrats are not the only ones popping champagne corks:”

The link following that quote has the clerical leader of Iran saying, “Since Washington’s hostile and hawkish policies have always been against the Iranian nation, this defeat is actually an obvious victory for the Iranian nation.”

Clearly that’s just rhetoric. Obviously Iran is in a better position now than they were before bush turned the middle east into what it is today. I’m sure Khamenei is very happy the republicans spent as long as they did in power. And I’m sure he’d rather have had the U.S. continue to focus on Iraq, which the republicans seem more likely to do than the democrats. The U.S. has been trying to mediate the balance of power between Iraq and Iran for decades, and for us to basically destroy Iraq all of a sudden is a dream come true for the Iranian government.
